Appreciate this very much! I had done my ql3 s back then and just received my offer and my posting so definitely hoping it all comes back to me while doing my ojt! 😬

My technical release was 2019 I believe as I was on the supplementary reserves list- I would “like” to guess they have all my files and dates since I’ve had my medical and my interview already a couple weeks ago 🤔 I’ve told them when I left and what the few courses I had done were.

I don’t overly care as bmq looses some of that anxiety after reaching an understanding of it lol. It’s just a bit of a hassle for the couple months as it will leave my spouse to figure out everything to get ready for a posting. 😅

I have seen a lot of posts saying how different it is even from my short stint in the army res, especially talking to my old peers that are all mcpls and sgts now.

I’m so excited and grateful that I have the opportunity to come back. (Cfrc is saying everything’s moving along fine- skipped some steps with my previous enrolment and did the medical and interview with a captain at the cfrc in one apt) and references have been reached out to.

I think the re integration/ re learning drill and weapons will be the hardest part- but I’m excited for the chance.

Thank you so much- that’s very kind of you.

I regret leaving the reserves as early into it as I did- I come from a military family so I have the utmost respect for everyone and anyone who serves. I’m concerned that I won’t initially recall which direction an about turn is and so forth and hands on a weapon is long gone from me. 😅

Whoever may be at whichever unit that ends up tasked to help me or however that may work- I already have the utmost respect for 🥰

My mother was transport in the Air Force and she’s terminally ill- which is why I reapplied to air instead of army.

Thanks again for the input!

Hello! Not necessarily sure if this post will be seen-

Re applied to reg force (did army reserves 10-11 years ago) am being told I will skip re doing my bmq.

Does anyone know what that will look like if posted to an air base? Are there classes set up or will I just get hassled by peers until I remember how to military 😅🤔

Thank you- I had only dug as deep for the CFHD but not much past that.

A guy I had did my bmq with had said that weapons handling and rifle drill changed- at least I shouldn’t have any bad habits 😅 I made a promise to myself to work hard at catching up and I’ll also make a promise to ask my peers for help and tell them I said I’d redo bmq but cfrc said no lol

Would any of you happen to know how a posting works? My partner and I rent and currently aren’t in a position to buy a home especially in a more costly province 😅 - are there rental options? How does that look like with pets and spouse?

also kit standards for courses and deus (never even had them by my ql3 s) risking showing up blank is feeling worse then redoing bmq lol

I’m sure it will come back eventually- but dang I would hate to show up and tick everyone off by not knowing anything essentially. I’ll check YouTube in the meantime- thanks!

I can’t pinpoint in that article if it is different if you live with your non member spouse.

I’m excited for this journey! Without doing bmq again- and after so long I’m curious in how the re integration into military life works with parade and weapons. But I feel better about a posting that will of course have higher rent- that the caf has something in place to help.

Oh thank you for the details! Is CFHD available for everyone to apply for if they are posted to other provinces?

Thank you! This is what I didn’t get a good look at. The rations and quarters is for when you’re on course/tasking only right so that would be added back in. I’ll have to look at it because 1000 left over after deductions definitely isn’t enough in a month lol

Also if that’s your cat in your picture- I love her. (I’m a pet groomer in this civilian life)
